By adding this JAR to gradle, it works. implementation 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-dateutil:2.5.9'
It's clear, because "implementation 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.5.9'" does not depends on groovy-dateutil, so we should manually add this JAR dependency.

Is it the document outdated or I use something wrong? Ensure you have groovy-dateutil JAR in your classpath. It contains org.apache.groovy.dateutil.extensions.DateUtilStaticExtensions which provides the mentioned method. Mauro
